Swimming Lessons

The last part of January we started doing swim lessons with the twins at the YMCA. I have been wanting to do this for awhile and we finally were able to do it. It is quite the family event. As we have to do evening classes so Kev can go with me and then we put Zac in the childwatch.

Gracie loved every minute of it from the beginning. She wants to wear her swimsuit all the time and on swim days would wear it all day sometimes. She loves the water and enjoyed learning new things and singing songs.


Ty was very apprehensive about swim lessons. The water made him nervous and the first lesson he cried and clung to me. However, we made progress because by the second lesson he wasn't as scared and loved to jump in the water. His favorite was when they climbed on their teachers lap and jumped off the diving board into our arms. So fun. He really enjoyed lessons after that.


All ready for swimming! Ty calls it the "YCI" "Mom, we go to the YCI, Zac play in the playroom and Ty and Gracie swim!"


Our last class! We were in the other side of the pool tonight and it was rather cold. Their instructer was Jessica and we all had a great time doing swimming!


Hopefully when they are old enough to take lessons without us in the water, they won't be so afraid now.
